Got the fuel pressure checked tonight. I am 99.9% sure that is the problem. It was 39-40 PSI at idle and only 48PSI at WOT. So is there any possiblity that it could be a clogged filter (because i have one right in the trunk and i dont imagine it would hurt to try it).

If it hasen't been changed in a while you should swap it out either way.

Well after pondering this idea for a little while last night andthis morning.... I came up with.... it is 48 which is the boaderline of what i am suppose to have. That is at 4000 rpms (car was in N and that is as high as it goes, as everyone knows), most of my KR comes in at 4000 and gets higher as the rpms go higher. So i may try to find a person with a tester that can like reach in the car of something and test it at higher then 4000(if you guys think there will be a difference). Also maybe it is the filter (higher rpms it may be struggling). I dunno i will change that out and maybe it is that. Anymore ideas?

Was that with the vac line to the FPR disconnected? I don't know if there would be a difference, but I'd think that you'd want to have one you can read from the drivers seat. I don't think you dump nearly as much fuel in holding at 4k in neutral as you would if you were WOT... That'* almost assuming your injectors are outflowing your pump....

You gapped them at .060 and they were used right? Maybe the cam needs them cooler and gapped smaller?
